Item 8.01. Other Events

Amendment and Restatement of Distribution Reinvestment Plan

On November 15, 2016, the board of directors of Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II, Inc. (the "Registrant") amended and restated the Registrant's Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the "DRP") to state that, effective as of November 28, 2016, until the Registrant announces an estimated net asset value ("NAV") per share, the purchase price per share under the DRP will be $9.40 per share. Once the Registrant announces an estimated NAV per share, which the Registrant expects to occur on or before February 20, 2017, the purchase price per share under the DRP will be equal to the most recently published NAV per share. This Current Report on Form 8-K serves as the 10 days' notice of an amendment per the terms of the DRP.

The foregoing description of certain terms of the amended and restated DRP does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the amended and restated DRP, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
